Why The Atlanta Hawks Do The Deal
Well, the question is this: why didn’t it work between Young and Murray?
Is it because Murray isn’t much of an off-ball player? As talented as he is, he’s not much of a shooter. Murray didn’t do much to compliment Young when he was orchestrating the offense.
Of course, Caruso won’t, either. On the other hand, he won’t gobble up on-ball possessions like Murray. Moreover, he is a more natural off-ball player. Caruso isn’t a knockdown shooter, but he’s a good cutter.

On the other hand, a healthy Patrick Williams is exactly the type of player who will complement Young.
Add in a first-round pick and a swap, and this deal could motivate the Hawks to move on quickly from their star backcourt.
Should the Bulls want half of it?
